Mickey Pumpkin Truffles
INGREDIENTS:
- 36 chocolate sandwich cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 package orange candy melts
- Yellow, orange, and green fondant
DIRECTIONS:
Step 1: Pulse chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until nice and crumbly. Pour into a medium mixing bowl. Add in the cream cheese and stir until a dough-like consistency forms.
Step 2: Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Step 3: While truffles chill, roll out 48 small orange balls of fondant to form Mickey ears.
Step 4: Melt candy melts in a microwave. Dip a chilled truffle in the melted candy melts and toss until the truffle is fully coated. Place onto a lined baking sheet. While the coating is still melted, carefully place two orange balls of fondant on the top sides of the truffle. You may need to hold some of the ears in place until the candy melt coating dries. Repeat this process for all of the truffles.
Step 5: Roll out the green fondant into a thin layer. Use a utility knife to cut out leaf shapes and gently carve details into the leaves. Thin strips out of the fondant make good vines and stems. You can use a toothpick to apply a small amount of melted candy melt to make sure that the leaves, stems and vines stick to the tops of the truffles.
Step 6: Roll out the yellow fondant into a thin layer. Use a utility knife to cut out the Mickey Pumpkin’s eyes, nose, and mouth. For the eyes, cut out ovals and use orange candy melt to apply the inner eye pieces. Use small amounts of melted candy melt to stick the facial features to the truffles.
Quick Tip: Always use caution when handling sharp objects and hot contents. Please supervise children who are helping or nearby.
